GENERAL INFO:

WHAT: Variant Interpretation COSI Session at the ISMB/ECCB Conference
WHEN: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM, July 24th, 2017
WHERE: Hall IA, Prague Convention Center, Prague, Czech Republic.

VarI-COSI Session 2017 - Preliminary Program

COSI AIMS:

The primary goal of the VarI-COSI is to outline and discuss the recent advances in the methodology for the annotation and analysis of genetic variants. Building upon the experience of the previous VarI-SIG and SNP-SIG editions: and other international workshops and meetings (e.g. AIMM2010, CAGI, HGVS 2010 and PSB2011) the VarI-COSI will serve to build a research network , facilitating the exchange of ideas and the establishment of new collaborations within the community. Thus, Vari-COSI will strive to meaningfully contribute to the management of the complexity of the analysis and evaluation of genetic variants.

We are interested in submissions describing original work in all the fields of genetic variants research including, but not limited to "genetic variants in":

  • sequence analysis
  • protein structure and function
  • protein interactions and molecular networks
  • transcriptomics and gene regulation
  • disease models and epidemiology
  • population genetics and evolution
  • comparative genomics

    • TOPICS OF INTEREST:

    Databases, data mining algorithms and visualization tools for genetic variants analysis

    Methods for predicting regulatory/structural/functional impacts of genetic variants

    Personal Genomics, GWAS studies and SNV prioritization

    Population genomics and phylogenetic analysis
